3/26 Recap: Yesterday brought a weird mixture of knowing my own fate. Norway bossed Albania for the vast majority of the game but took until the 70th minute to pull ahead. They delivered me a perfect score victory and I thought I was off to a glorious afternoon. Alas, before the final whistle even blew… Continue reading International Revenge Tour – Picks From Across The Pond for March 27, 2018

Won’t Get Fooled Again – Picks From Across The Pond for March 26, 2018
3/25 Recap: Since the second edition of Picks From Across The Pond, Spain has been a minefield for me. Whether it be the Primera or Segunda Divisions, there hasn’t been anything but disappointment. Meanwhile, the lower tiers of England continued to prove fruitful escapades. Long live Luton. The Hatters gave me my third straight perfect… Continue reading Won’t Get Fooled Again – Picks From Across The Pond for March 26, 2018
Serie B For Me – Picks From Across The Pond for March 25, 2018
3/24 Recap: I’ve learned a lot during my short time doing this series. Humility is key. Don’t let yourself get bogged down by a losing streak or too high from a winning one. But yesterday I learned the biggest lesson of all. That lesson is to strike the word “lock” from your vocabulary. After my… Continue reading Serie B For Me – Picks From Across The Pond for March 25, 2018
Segunda x Two – Picks From Across The Pond for March 24, 2018
3/23 Recap: Even if today’s picks go down like a number two, they’ll fit the theme. Because today’s theme is TWO in honor of me finally going a perfect two for two yesterday. Two correct scores. Two sets of props hit. I still can’t believe it. But I owe it all to one man- Cristiano… Continue reading Segunda x Two – Picks From Across The Pond for March 24, 2018
Cross Continent Chaos – Picks From Across The Pond for March 23, 2018
3/22 Recap: Who says friendlies can’t be entertaining? I was plenty entertained by the proceedings yesterday, even if one of my picks didn’t go as planned. In retrospect, I probably should have gone with some sort of a prop in the U21 match as both teams played it close to the vest spare a ten-minute… Continue reading Cross Continent Chaos – Picks From Across The Pond for March 23, 2018
A Friendly Game of Footy – Picks From Across The Pond for March 22, 2018
3/21 Recap: My schizophrenic run through the lower rungs of European football continued yesterday. I was expecting an under in the Wigan/Walsall contest, but the visitors killed that by themselves in a 3-0 win. As for League Two, I got my needed dose of Akinfenwa and a Wycombe win in a thrilling back and forth… Continue reading A Friendly Game of Footy – Picks From Across The Pond for March 22, 2018
International Incident – Picks From Across The Pond for March 21, 2018
3/20 Recap: Just when you think you know all the answers, football changes the questions. I know reworked a Roddy Piper quote there, but it is fitting. I’ve upped my research working with these lower-tier matchups, and yet I still have days where I’m getting blanked. Neither League One match gave me a chance early… Continue reading International Incident – Picks From Across The Pond for March 21, 2018
League One Of Legends – Picks From Across The Pond for March 20, 2018
3/19 Recap: With international friendlies imminent, there is going to be a lot of lower league football coming up. Monday was a fantastic precursor of what’s to come for me this week. Doncaster Rovers made me wait, but in the end, rewarded my faith in keeping with them despite the change in line. John Marquis’… Continue reading League One Of Legends – Picks From Across The Pond for March 20, 2018
Monday Motivation – Picks From Across The Pond for March 19, 2018
3/17 Results: For those non-alcoholics, Saturday was St. Patrick’s Day. In other words, it’s National “Let’s Drink Until We Pass Out On The Floor Like Chalk Outlines” Day here in the States. I was no exception. Throw in Liverpool’s beatdown of Watford, even if the Hornets couldn’t do me the service of putting at least… Continue reading Monday Motivation – Picks From Across The Pond for March 19, 2018
The All-England Club – Picks From Across The Pond for March 17, 2018
3/16 Recap: After my highs of Thursday, I knew I was going to be brought back down to Earth. To be honest it could have been worse. Monaco looked the team battling relegation against Lille before Stevan Jovetic saved their blushes at the hour mark. Eibar carried the lion’s share of possession and chances against… Continue reading The All-England Club – Picks From Across The Pond for March 17, 2018
